I had a crazy idea. And we are doing it. My staff thinks I’m completely out of my mind!

Guess what happened?

I was talking to my team and we were reviewing our last two years and analyzing customer reviews of our Digital Home-Study Course “The Logic Behind Music”. We started counting how many beginners we had helped …

This has been a great year - and all this could not have been possible without the support of all our followers! The Piano Encyclopedia now has students across 35 countries around the world AND we have collected more than 150 testimonials and success stories!

We are thankful to all our followers, and all those who wrote us words of support and helped us spread the word! All this positive energy has also motivated us to make some great and tempting updates...

On behalf of our team and staff, we would like to thank, once again, everyone who has supported us, all our followers and all the people that sent us comments and feedback through emails. As of today, we already have students from 25 different countries!

Yes! 25 countries!!! The Piano Encyclopedia Community is growing and this is all …

As we continue to thrive on providing you the simplest way to love and learn music, we hereby proudly announce our latest update – The Piano Encyclopedia’s Ear Training Suite AND The Piano Encyclopedia's Sight Reading Training Suite. Since some of our students wanted to learn how to sight-read music notes and symbols, and also to train their ears skills, we developed these two new important sets of interactive music suite games that will surely bring you a lot of fun combined with learning.
Tempting, isn’t it? Well, let’s take a peek on what’s inside...

Our Exclusive Pre-release started on December of 2009 and ended this March. After an amazing success and with buyers from across all the world - we are proud to say that we have made our course available for the general public!

Today, with your support, we are tremendously proud of the course we created, and the feedback and success stories we have received from our students make us feel we are making a great contribution to changing how people learn music all around the world.

So now I started grabbing everything that I could get. I plan to get the basic one, when they have monthly paymts. again-whenever that will be. I do plan to resume with the teacher but only 2x per mth. As a senior/low income, this freebee is much appreciated and thought I would let you know that. Thanks, Carol 🙄 😆

Guest_430 : Hi Gust_2101, I am a customer! 😉 I purchased the course a couple of weeks ago. The 1000 Videos Gallery is really good, but is not my favorite.

I super recommend it!

Playing the chords on the left, and the melody on the right, is good for solo playing. Both are correct, but different ways to play the piano, for different purposes. How you could get started? You might want to try to sing the melody, while playing the same notes you are singing at the same time. Also, it is very important that

I started playing the guitar at age 15 when my older brother gave me an old kay model guitar with a warped neck and showed me how to play 3 cords ( that's all he knew ) over time I learned a lot of cords and played with gospel groups for about 14 years. Then I bought a cord book for piano and learned to play some by cord only.
Now I am 78 years of age and I came across your 111 page ebook, down loaded it and found it is the most awesome learning information I have ever come across
